Grok Bot’s desktop app connects to your local machine. If your local machine is awake, you can access it through your Grok Bots on your phone. Grok Bots can now be accessed through Grok in the Tesla.
I keep my MacBook docked and awake at my apartment at all times.
Here’s how I use my voice in my Tesla to build with Grok Build:
1) “hey grok” in Tesla
2) prompt “have my chief of staff bot build XYZ with grok build and save it to Google Drive”
3) My chief of staff bot has a skill installed that makes it open a terminal window on my MacBook and prompt Grok whenever I ask it to do anything with grok build.
4) Builds whatever I’ve asked in Grok Build on my Mac in a terminal window, dumps the output in the Google Drive folder on my MacBook. MacBook syncs it up to the cloud. Open output on phone.
